Robust Articulated-ICP for Real-Time Hand Tracking

We present a robust method for capturing articulated hand motions in realtime using a single depth camera. Our system is based on a realtime registration process that accurately reconstructs hand poses by... Read more »

Example Based Repetitive Structure Synthesis

We present an example based geometry synthesis approach for generating general repetitive structures. Our model is based on a meshless representation, unifying and extending previous synthesis methods. Structures in the example and... Read more »

Reforming Shapes for Material-aware Fabrication

As humans, we regularly associate shape of an object with its built material. In the context of geometric modeling, however, this inter-relation between form and material is rarely explored. In this work,... Read more »

Tight Relaxation of Quadratic Matching

Establishing point correspondences between shapes is extremely challenging as it involves both finding sets of semantically persistent feature points, as well as their combinatorial matching. We focus on the latter and consider... Read more »

Perfect Matching Quad Layouts for Manifold Meshes

This paper introduces a new approach to automatically generate pure quadrilateral patch layouts on manifold meshes. The algorithm is based on a careful construction of a singularity graph of a given input... Read more »

Texture Mapping Real-World Objects with Hydrographics

In the digital world, assigning arbitrary colors to an object is a simple operation thanks to texture mapping. However, in the real world, the same basic function of applying colors onto an... Read more »

The Implications of the EU ‘Right to Be Forgotten’ Law on Web Searches

Since 2013, the Right to Be Forgotten has lived overseas with little chance of coming to the U.S. Some European officials are looking to change this. Read more »

Facebook Enables Celebs to Webcast Live via Mentions App

This is a new live streaming service similar to Meerkat and Periscope, but it has an important differentiator: Only famous people can use it. Read more »

A Survey of Geometric Analysis in Cultural Heritage

We present a review of recent techniques for performing geometric analysis in cultural heritage (CH) applications. The survey is aimed at researchers in the areas of computer graphics, computer vision and CH... Read more »

GE Introduces Predix Cloud to Handle Scale Up to the IoT

Unlike public clouds, Predix Cloud will use a "gated community" model to ensure that tenants of the cloud belong to the industrial ecosystem. Read more »
